July Sponsor Giveaway #7 - Pretty Things By Meg

"Hello! My name is Meg, and I like to make pretty things :) I have always swooned over jewelry, particularly earrings. Just over a year and a half ago, I decided to try making my own and have been creating ever since. I love to take apart vintage jewelry found at estate sales and the like and combine elements of them with new beads/findings to create an entirely unique piece of jewelry. In my shop, you will find vintage-meets-modern (or vintern, as my husband has dubbed it) earrings and necklaces in a variety of textures and colors, bold and subtle."

I have lots of favourites, but my top 5 would be (in random order): coffee (obviously), peaches, my mother's perfume (not the perfume itself, but the sentiment that goes along with it), new books and vintage shops.

Such pretty earrings. Favourite scent is definitely gingerbread. It doesn't matter what time of year or where I am, the scent of gingerbread transports me to Christmas time and memories with my family - especially my little cousins for whom I bake mini-gingerbread houses to decorate every Christmas Eve. :-)

my favorite scent is cotton blossom from bath & body works. every time, after my mom got out of the shower she would lotion up with cotton blossom.. and i would wear it, too. my mom passed away 4 years ago. well, bath & body works discontinued that scent & i have one bottle left & a spray for the house.. and whenever i am really missing my mom, i lather up or spray the house!

My favorite scent is my husband's skin after a day working in the hay fields. The sweet smell of hay and sweat...there is just nothing like it. I've been known to stand in front of the washing machine smelling his dirty work shirts. :)

my very favorite scent is this old anthropologie candle my brother bought my mom probably ten years ago...the scent is thunderstorm and it smells like wet dirt and water and freshly mown grass...it's fantastic and i can't get enough of it!
